Deck the Halls seeks Christmas memories from Edinburgh residents

As Christmas approaches, Christmas fair, Deck the Halls, is inviting Edinburgh residents to share their most cherished festive memories, to be showcased on special ‘memories trees’ at the SEC in Glasgow this month.

The memories trees will showcase cherished Christmas memories from across Scotland. Visitors can explore the displays and reflect on past festive traditions while making new memories at the show, which runs from 28-30 November.

Memories already submitted for the trees paint a vivid picture of Scottish festivities, including the magic of ice skating at George Square, the thrill of a Christmas pantomime or finding the perfect gift at one of Scotland’s Christmas markets.

Deck the Halls is seeking to collect as many of these anecdotes as possible to create a truly immersive and heartwarming display for attendees to enjoy.

The event will also feature over 100 exhibitors, offering everything from artisan food and drink and handcrafted gifts to interactive festive workshops.

Edinburgh businesses exhibiting at the event include Ana Herranz Jewellery; Birlinn; Edinburgh Illustrations; Helen Chatterton Textiles; Made Scotland; Silver Sparrow Jewellery; The Spirit of the Hebrides Upholstery; Victoria Rose Ball; and Woolkind.

Deck the Halls marks the launch of the first consumer fair from Springboard Events, which has 17 years’ experience of running trade shows in Scotland.

Springboard Events managing director, Mark Saunders said: “Deck the Halls promises to be a stunning new addition to the festive calendar.

“The memories tree in particular will be a beautiful display of Scottish Christmas nostalgia, and we look forward to seeing all the wonderful festive moments submitted by the community.”
